A youthful charismatic President . . . an intelligent and photogenic wife . . . cute young children running around the White House . . . accused of being soft on America’s enemies . . . accused of being too inexperienced for the job . . . surrounded by the best and brightest academics. The comparison with JFK was irresistible even before Obama was elected president and hasn’t let up since inauguration.
But of course the best analogies between presidents shouldn’t be based on superficial issues like youth and inexperience, or the accusations of political enemies — they should be based on principles, policies, and reactions to domestic as well as world events. And on these grounds, Obama resembles LBJ far more than JFK.

No. GWB was LBJ.
Obama is Carter, Castro, Chavez, Stalin, Lenin, Mussolini, Mao, (insert famous socialist)

I've seen many say that 0bama is Carter, or 0bama is FDR or JFK. The fact is that 0bama is unlike anyone who has ever sat in the Oval Office - a black communist who is bent on the destruction of The United States of America.
Even as incompetent as Carter was, I never questioned his loyalty to this Country.

Before 1.20.2009, the leading contenders for the most imcompetent President of the past 100 years were Warren G. Harding and Jimmy Carter. Obama is quickly leaving them in the dust.
The Cook Countyization of national politics may allow him to get re-elected, in spite of that.

The Cook Countyization of national politics may allow him to get re-elected, in spite of that. PRAY that that doesn't happen!!!

Obambi makes Jimmy Carter’s presidency look downright brilliant by comparison!

A youthful charismatic President who’s brain has a few pinched nerves.
